2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 3: Spreading the court ten seconds of eightings.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Wenn, just go show me under the basket. Under the basket,

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: it's the truth for the wind.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: A miracle. I up the water.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Hit that one from the parking lot.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: What's up the general nation? Welcome to the Big Bets

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: on Campus Podcast presented by Bett MGM. This is the

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: weekend college basketball betting preview. I'm stuck in joining me

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: as always, It's BJ Cunningham and Mike Calvarys. Gentlemen, what's

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: going on? Bj'll start with you. How are things? Things

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: are good?

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: You know, we're we're getting into the pick of things now.

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: We have what one hundred and sixty five college basketball

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 4: games this weekend, so it's going to be complete chasts.

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing better than these Friday nights getting ready for

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: the enormous Saturday college basketball card and then trying to

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: whittle down your card from a million to one hundred

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: thousand debts. Mike, what's going on? Brother?

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm having a pretty good week, but you know how

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: this goes in terms of winning games by the hook

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: or winning by one when foul shooting goes your way

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch and win for the other shoot to

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: drop a little bit. I had Longwood last night and

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: they end up erasing a pretty big first haft deficit

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: and make a foul shot at the ends, play enough

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: defense to cover by the hook.

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: I'd like some some sweat free wins, hopefully this weekend

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: that we can hand out to the audience. Creighton did

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: their work on Tuesday, which was great to see in

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: terms of how they handled Butler, but just in general,

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I think it's still so unpredictable with so many top

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: twenty five teams losing this week. We'll get into it

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, but at this point, my big headline

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: is who can you trust on the road. At this point,

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a pretty short list.

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, out, I guess let's break right into that, but

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: but start Butts first, just to give an idea of

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: what this is gonna look like. Obviously, this is the

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: first late week episode of this season, so if you're

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: not familiar, we'll do a little, you know, recap of

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: what we learned from the week one takeaway. If you

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: have a rent, we'll get to that and we'll talk

46
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: a little Friday Night coops and give out a play

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: or two there, and then we will get into some

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: futures talk and also what we're gonna do with the futures.

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 3: We're gonna build a future's portfolio over the next six weeks,

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: five or six weeks, well five or six teams try

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: to hit at least one every week. Everyone will bring

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: one to the table, make a case for it, and

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: then we will vote and uh, you know, you get

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: you don't have to have all five or six. If

55
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: you listening, you can pick and choose. So it's just

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: a good way to offer up some cases for futures.

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: We'll get into Saturday go around the horn three or

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: four each and then later in the show, I'm actually

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: gonna talk with Bjay Rains, who does a phenomenal job

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: covering Boys State, will talk a little Mountain West. I'll

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: i interview with him a little later in the day.

62
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: So jam pack show. If you have any ideas for guests,

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: feel free to always reach out for us, especially if

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: they specialize in a certain conference. But let's get right

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: into just one key takeaway from the week I'm gonna go.

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with last night's Yukon loss. They followed

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: seventeen point lead. And if you were to ask somebody,

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: what like a month ago, who's gone to the Final Four?

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe people that follow college basketball closely,

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: a lot of answers would be Arizona and Yukon. Right,

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: those two teams with their bigs, they look like shoeings

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: to make a run in March, and since they've fallen

73
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: off kind of some of the same problems. Their guards

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: aren't you know, their shots aren't falling. Yukon's bench has

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: fallen off a little bit. They have some issues on

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: defense as well. Everything was going really well for them

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: early on. Now not so much. They're playing over their heads.

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: But I think it illustrates more of a point of

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: the entire landscape of college basketball this year, and that

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: is just be in the mix, Like Connecticut will be

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: in the mix with their size and they're gonna have

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: to make some shots. They're still young, but there is

83
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: no dominant team we're gonna have. There's gonna be ebbs

84
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 3: and flows of this, and it's gonna lead into our futures.

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: Talk later, like you want to try and time it

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: up right when you're getting in on some of these teams,

87
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: for futures. But you know, maybe Samson Johnson come back

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: for Connecticut can help. But yeah, Snoga on defense has

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: been a little disappointed. They got to get their rotations right.

90
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: And then yeah, everything Kaka Taylor was hitting like sixty

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: percent from three earlier in year. Everything was going right.

92
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: They weren't that good. I don't think they're this bad,

93
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: but I think it just speaks to college basketball in

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: general this year. Be in the mix. There's twenty teams

95
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 3: that could win this thing. Michae, let me go to you.

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And there's also so many top teams

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: that could lose in the first weekend. Just looking at

98
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: this week, Kansas, Texas, Clemson, Xavier, TCU. You touched on

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: Yukon Arkansas also losing most of those losses coming at home,

100
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: pardon me, on the road.

101
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 3: And that's really what it boils down to.

102
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Can any of these teams be consistent if their strength

103
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: isn't happening that night, whether it's perimeter shooting or.

104
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: They savior at the pauls Avia goes down to the Paul. Yeah.

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: So that's the kind of thing where I think it

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: cuts both ways in terms of the overreaction to a loss.

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Like that Xavier cracks at the top ten they lose.

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Are they fraudulent or is it just that Paul finally

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: got healthy at the right time, And maybe they're a

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: team to consider as a dark horse in the Big

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: East Tournament. I think at this point kind of what

112
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: you're preaching a little bit in terms of having patients

113
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: and looking at a team's best and worst performance and

114
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: realizing that somewhere in the middle is probably the right

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: patients to have at this point in the season. Although

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: there are some teams that I feel like at this

117
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: point they got to show me something. And that's why

118
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: this TCU Kansas game is so critical in my opinion

119
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Even if TCU isn't able to win

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: the game, I just want to make sure that they

121
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: don't get thrown to the mat and have you know,

122
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: three or four game losing streak come out of that

123
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: loss to West Virginia, because we all knew that West

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: Virginia was better than their record indicated. They were winless

125
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve. But I want to see how

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: these teams react after, you know, dropping a game on

127
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the road.

128
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, good. Good thing to keep in mind is like

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: the twenty five to five rule, Like those teams that

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: are gonna have like five games, they're way over their head.

131
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: Five games that they just it's a bad day, and

132
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: then twenty games are like who they actually are. And

133
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: you don't want to overreact, and sometimes you want to

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: take advantage of the market if the market does indeed

135
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: overreact or underreact in certain circumstances. It's also worth noting

136
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: you always want to keep track of like who's in

137
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: and who's alec. You mentioned to Paul getting healthy, that's important.

138
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: There's also this couple couple more COVID cases are creeping up,

139
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: like people are out for COVID and sickness and illness

140
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: and injuries, so that's something to also keep them on. Baja,

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm a throw it to you key takeaway from the week.

142
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of echoing on what

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 4: you guys have both already said. It's that it seems

144
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: like there are very few teams in this country that

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 4: you can trust that home in on the road, and it's,

146
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: you know, to echo your point from Monday, Michael, it's

147
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: a lot of teams just are doing a lot of

148
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: good stuff at home and then they just keep losing

149
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: on the road, like you already mentioned, Kansas losing to

150
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: Kansas State, Missouri beating Arkansas West, Viginia being TCU, and Yukon.

151
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: That's four straight road losses for them. So, like you said, stuck.

152
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: They were the third team in the country and a

153
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: lot of people. I remember being on Green Dot Daily

154
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: talking with Kai McEwen from a three man weave and

155
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: he was telling me, He's like, yeah, I think Yukon's

156
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: the best team in the country. And then they go

157
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: on and they lose to Providence and drop three straight

158
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: road games. So now once we get to March, they

159
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: kind of got to keep that in mind. Is when

160
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: you're picking out your futures portfolio, and this will be

161
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: a nice segue into the you know, the futures talk

162
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: is that there are currently eight teams from ten to

163
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: one to twenty to one. You know, Houston sitting at

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: six to one. They're not gonna be tested during the

165
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: American Conference. There's probably not gonna be value on them

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: as we get through the regular season here, but maybe

167
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: they drop a few games, maybe there becomes some value

168
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: on them. But Kansas, Album, Purdue, UCLA, Arizona, Tennessee, Gonzaga, Connecticut.

169
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: Out of that bunch, which one of those teams do

170
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 4: you guys actually trust the most to get through this

171
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: regular season and potentially have their price be shorter by

172
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: the time we get more Honestly, that's what we're talking

173
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: about here with futures.

174
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: I'll answer first, I think that from a price perspective,

175
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: if I were to and we'll talk about this later,

176
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: it might not be my answer. But from that group,

177
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: the team that I trust the most to win it

178
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: all and they might be at the peak of their

179
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: value is what I mean. Is Alabama. If you look

180
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: at what they've done this year, you know they I

181
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: think I think I talked about this earlier in the

182
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: week with that road win at Houston. You know, the

183
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: road win at Arkansas they took, they kept it was

184
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: a desperate Arkansas team, they kept taking their punches. Another

185
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: double digit road win at Vandy, double digit road win

186
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: at Mississippi State. The roadway to Houston is huge, and

187
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: these are road conference games, and they're just taking care

188
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: of business in you know, on the road in conference.

189
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think with the amount of talent that

190
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: they have, the amount of ways that they can score.

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: The veteran presence of Mark Sears, I think is huge.

192
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Knowing when to take the big shot. Yeah, there's so

193
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: much talent in this team. They could beat you in

194
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: so many ways. And we talked about these teams not

195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 3: having marque wins on the road. Alabama has one of

196
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: the best and they keep getting it done on conference

197
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: in the road.

198
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: What do you think, Mike, Yeah, I kind of want

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: to go a little bit deeper on Alabama because it's

200
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: something that you talked about last episode when kind of

201
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: singing their praises and what they did against Houston. For

202
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: those of you that watched the entire game, it wasn't

203
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: in an Alabama game where they hit fifteen threes and

204
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: they legitimately would have beaten any team in the country.

205
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: They're down at halftime, they were struggling at points in

206
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: that game, and they gutted it out against a really

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: good defense on the road. To me, that arguably is

208
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: the most impressive win of the entire season.

209
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: So it's not just with the Brandon Miller. Their starfrush

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: were doing nothing in the right exactly.

211
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: So it's your twenty five to five and five rule.

212
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't even that five game where it's like, Okay,

213
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: they shot out of their minds, or they got you know,

214
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: the benefit of some whistles, or something really weird happened

215
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: in the game. They were just able.

216
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: To gut out a win. And you have to have

217
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: at least.

218
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: One, probably two of those on a trip to the

219
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: National Championship in March anyway. So in terms of being

220
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: able to prove it, I'm with you there. I think

221
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: that's the correct answer, although I'll get into it a

222
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: little bit later. Arizona is inching closer to my buyback moment.

223
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: You know, the fact that they lost to Oregon. I'll

224
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: touch on this as well. Oregon had a personnel upgrade

225
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: in terms of Kuznard coming in and I think that's

226
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: something that's really underrated, and the fact that he was

227
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: able to go off from a scoring perspective in that

228
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: game kind of dressed up an Oregon team that, on

229
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: paper is kind of mediocre. I think they're going to

230
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: be absolutely in the hunt, potentially could win the Pac

231
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: twelve tournament. So Arizona, to me, can get it together.

232
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: I think they do this weekend with a doubleheader at

233
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: home against USC and then UCLA. I think that that's

234
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: going to be their springboard to get their mojo back

235
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then quite so well at McHale.

236
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: But it's not quite there for me. I think you

237
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: list it off at fourteen to one. If it gets

238
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: into that seventeen eighteen to one area, then I think

239
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: it's the opportunity to grab the Wildcats.

240
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: Well, I guess before we get the fraud at this

241
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: natural segue into the future segments, So let's just knock

242
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: that out now. So everyone is going to bring one future,

243
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: let's pull up you know, you can talk widely lines

244
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: that are in the range. You know, because and this

245
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: is an important point, you want to shop around in

246
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: college basketball futures you can find you know, log into

247
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: if you have three different books, log into three that

248
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: they're probably not going to be the same. Why give

249
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: up that free equity, which is why it's important to

250
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: have as many outs as possible. Of course, starting with

251
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: that mgm our sponsor Beja, I'll let you start. Which

252
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: future are you bringing to the table for this week?

253
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to bring to the table connecticutt at twenty

254
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 4: to one. I know we just talked about them losing

255
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: four straight road games, but I'm thinking this is about

256
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: the point at the largest number that we're going to

257
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: see on Connecticut going forward. Uh, you know, this is

258
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: an unbelievable team, especially.

259
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: Where you could go and I think this is a

260
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: horrendous take because this is the case that I prepared.

261
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: So oh really, okay, I'll pivot that.

262
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: You know, no, no, I have a bad day because

263
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: I'll just say Creighton's still sitting there at fifty to one, Like,

264
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 4: there is tremendous value on Creighton right now. They obviously

265
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: just beat Butler pretty badly. A team that has the

266
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: number one strength of schedule.

267
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: You're going youkn you got it. We have to stick

268
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: to the order because I'm going to start some weeks.

269
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: So you brought it, you can't that's what the order.

270
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is this is about the point

271
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: to buy in, right because we had the peak of

272
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: the market when they were the third team in the country.

273
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 4: I'm guessing I don't have an infront of I'm guessing

274
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: they were probably around ten to one, nine to one

275
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: to win the title. They have four straight road losses

276
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: in the Big East. Is a team that's probably going

277
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: to be, you know, at very worst a four seed

278
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 4: come come March. Which unbelievable team at defending the three

279
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: point area. They have a couple really, really nice non

280
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: conference wins, including one over Alabama team we just raved about.

281
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: So absolutely probably the time to buy in here on

282
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: Yukon going forward. So Yukon twenty to one for me

283
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 4: is my future I'm bringing to the table.

284
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Mike, throw it to you, all right.

285
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to throw in a deep shot

286
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: because for the most part I'm shopping and we're that

287
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: fifteen to fifty to one range throughout the season. Just

288
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: mentioned him Oregon one hundred and fifty. I've seen out

289
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: in the market one hundred and seventy five to one.

290
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: We know about the coaching staff what they can bring

291
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: to the table, but to me, at this point, anyone

292
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: over one hundred to one, is there a personnel difference,

293
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: Whether it's a player you know, getting hurt, coming back

294
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: from injury, transfer, portal eligibility, whatever it is. Jermaine Kusnard

295
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: is the guy that is a missing piece for them

296
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: on the perimeter because when you balance him with Infali Dante,

297
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: the Malli Monster, who's been absolutely insane since January rolled around.

298
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: His last four games, He's averaged in sixteen points, nine boards,

299
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: three stocks per game. He's taken his game to the

300
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: next level. But getting another perimeter threat to pair with Richardson,

301
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: I think it gives them an opportunity to take that

302
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Arizona win and build on it have a top four

303
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: finish in the regular season in the PAC twelve. I

304
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: understand that they've been uneven at times already here in January,

305
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: but their ceiling to me is being right on the

306
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: cusp of being a top three team in the PAC

307
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: twelve and one hundred and fifty to one value wise

308
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: is right there for me. Also, a team that has

309
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: put it together in the past later in the season

310
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: and made deep runs in March Mados. So I've seen

311
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: the evidence from the coaching staff. So I'm going to

312
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: go ahead with the Ducks. If you can get it

313
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: at a real good number, all right. For my future

314
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: that I'm bring the table, it's going to be Yukona.

315
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: So I like the case there. An Oregon look always

316
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: going to be an interesting tournament team. They get into

317
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: the dance with the way that they play. Dana Altman

318
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: could switch up defenses, you know, zone demand depressed. Very

319
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: tough team to prepare for on a quick.

320
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: Turnaround, especially if you're not familiar with them, and yeah,

321
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: that's that is something also keep in mind if someone

322
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: is getting a key player back to look for in

323
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: the futures market. I'm gonna make a case with TCU

324
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: at some point, but we're gonna talk about this game

325
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: like they're gonna be underdogs against Kansas and maybe we

326
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: can pick them back up. You know, they've come really

327
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: far down in the futures market. So even though they

328
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: just lost at West Virginia in a tough spot, I

329
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: think that they're they're not going to go up way

330
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: higher and we might be able to pick them off later.

331
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with a team that maybe look

332
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: dumb on Wednesday because I talked about adding their future.

333
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna talk about Ohio State. You can find

334
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: still find eighty to one out there. They just thought

335
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: to Nebraska by possession after the Nusta Rutgers by four

336
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: and overtime, after the Austin Minnesota by possession, else the

337
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: Purdue by two. Like this is team is last five

338
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: in a row, I think, all by one possession, and

339
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: I still believe in them. I mean, this is a

340
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: team that's i think just an offensive efficiency they're very

341
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: well coached, they're not three point reliant, they're great on

342
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: the offensive glass. I think sense the Ball can be

343
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: that guy as we progress into March, to be that

344
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: guy who can take over. I think that they've just

345
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: been getting really unlucky, and I do believe that they're

346
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: one of the twenty best teams in the country, So

347
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: I think that when all said and done, they're going

348
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: to be in the mix. I think they're still like

349
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: the top twenty in Kempong, like they're twenty first in Kempom.

350
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: I think that this is if you're going to add

351
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: Ohio State, do it now? Looking at their schedule and yeah,

352
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: I think eighty to one for a team that I

353
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: think is top twenty in the country with a guy

354
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: who I think can emerges that go to guy. Let's

355
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: go buck Eyes. So now it's time to vote. We

356
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: just hold up one finger when I say one, two, three,

357
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: One finger for BJS, two for Mike's So, one for Yukon,

358
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: two for Oregon, three for Ohio State on and you

359
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: can't vote for yourself on a count of three one

360
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: two three.

361
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

362
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: I was wondering if this was a Georgia seven runoff situation.

363
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: Get it down to just I I am the ultimate

364
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: signori area. If everyone goes one to one to one,

365
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: I make the decision in which case I do, I

366
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: might just choose my own. So there's it's not the

367
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: fair system, but it looks like two of us have

368
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: chosen Connecticut. I agree. Within you know, there's a twenty

369
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: we'll call it twenty two to one. I think you

370
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: might have a twenty four to one out there. This

371
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: is a team that I think will be in the mix.

372
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: They have the size to give a lot of tease problems.

373
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: And by the way, they've lost some you know, they've

374
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: lost some road games in the Big East. You remove Georgetown, which, man,

375
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: I wish that team is good. They just best was

376
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: better than Georgetown's good. But biggest team's not named Georgetown.

377
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: Ninety and sixteen at home this year, eighty five percent

378
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: home winning percentage. That's insane, the home court advantage. Like

379
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: I always think like the Big twelve is the best,

380
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: but the Big East underrated own court advtage, especially this year.

381
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, this has got to be the bottom for Yukon.

382
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: Like we just talked about a month ago, this is

383
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: a team that everyone was like a shoeing for the

384
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: final four that was way ahead of itself. But this

385
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: is a top twenty team that could be a matchup problem,

386
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: and they're young, Like I think that they're going to

387
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: get better. They're getting a piece back in an opening

388
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: day starter who's been out, who's just participating in live drill.

389
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think good time to buy Yukon. But

390
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: I think, uh, well, I guess I can't speak for

391
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: myself with two good cases that you guys brought. Mike,

392
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: you have any comments here, The only the.

393
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: Only thing that really popped to mind was what you're

394
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: saying about TCU. Now is not the right time to

395
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: grab them if you're interested, because I do think that

396
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: they're going to fall at fog on Saturday, which theoretically

397
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't mean that that could bump them up, you know,

398
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: from wherever they are by about five points on the

399
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: futures market, So it's probably best to wait that out

400
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: unless you think for sure that they're gonna go in

401
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: and bust the upset, in which case you could kind

402
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: of take the future now and then play them on

403
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: the money.

404
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: Line as well.

405
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure that's the tactic to deploy.

406
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 3: At this point. Yeah, you also could you know some

407
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: of these things, like there's an investing which I recommend doing,

408
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: like dollar cost averaging in the market, like no one

409
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: knows the time in the markets. If you're gonna invest,

410
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 3: like for a retirement or long term, like you just

411
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: no matter what the market's doing, you invest a little

412
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: bit or time. If there's a team, you know in

413
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: the Big twelve and you're like, ah, there's a big

414
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 3: upset coming and say you wanted to bet, I don't

415
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 3: say you want about one hundred dollars in the future.

416
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: Well you could bet you know, thirty today and then

417
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: you could bet thirty next week or thirty two weeks,

418
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: you know what, the bet the entire thing. You can

419
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: wait and see and kind of diversify in that aspect.

420
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, it might not be the best time for

421
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: TCU and tc regardless if they that win against Kansas,

422
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: like you go to Kansas's that's a quad one game,

423
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: like their profile gets shrifted overall good stuff there. Let's

424
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: move on to Friday talk a little Friday night lights.

425
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: Why let football have all the fun? Let's that Friday

426
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: night lights. They're never gonna be the most It's not

427
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: gonna be the car with the most amount of volume

428
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 3: on a Friday night until we get into conference play.

429
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: But we can try to find a winner to b

430
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: JJ you have. I know that Mike has something for

431
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: New Mexico boise potential. Do you have anything for Friday?

432
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: I do.

433
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: Let's go to the act MBAC Canisius taking on Fairfield.

434
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: I think this is a pretty good matchup for Fairfield

435
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: at home ken Palm as a minus four. The biggest

436
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: thing in this matchup is Canisius takes a large number

437
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 4: of three point shots. Fairfield's the top fifty team in

438
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: the country at defending three pointers, whether it be open catching,

439
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: shoot off the dribble, whatever it is, Fairfield is very,

440
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: very good at defending threes. Fairfield also runs a lot

441
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 4: of ton of ball screens and pick and rolls on offense,

442
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: and Canesies is outside the top two fifty at defending those.

443
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: And Fairfield just do for a lot of positive shooting regression.

444
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: Like if you look at their effective field goal percentage

445
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: and three point field goal percentage, it's actually really really pad.

446
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 4: But you know, if you look at their shot quality numbers,

447
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 4: there should be about three or four percent higher in

448
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 4: every single type of shot. So I think this is

449
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: a good good spot for them, going up against a

450
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: team that likes to shoot a lot of threes, a

451
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: team that's very, very good at defending threes at home

452
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 4: at a short number at minus four.

453
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say it's worth keeping an eye on

454
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: the status of Caleb Fields, who hasn't played the past

455
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: two games, but I think he's probably trending towards playing.

456
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: He's probably arguably their best playmaker averages, but I think

457
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 3: like twelve or thirteen points per game. But I was

458
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: really impressed, and it was something that I kind of

459
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: noted for later when they went to Iona and Fields

460
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: didn't play that game and they were right there all

461
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: the way until the end, and they only shot five

462
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: of twenty from three. So yeah, I was impressed by

463
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: Fairfield the other week, Mike, what you got here?

464
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: So one of the best man Major games of the week,

465
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: really of the month is Boise traveling to the Pit

466
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: to take on New Mexico.

467
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: At this point is back. He's always been a fire

468
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: but now the pit is like a fire pit.

469
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And Bracken Matrix has both of these teams

470
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: in the field at this point Boise as a ten

471
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: in New Mexico as a nine seed. The winner here,

472
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: I think positions themselves with the inside track in the MountainWest,

473
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, regular season race, and potentially, you know, if

474
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: everything cuts, you know, properly, for the winner, you could

475
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: play your way up to like a six seed if

476
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: you are able to do the two step of the

477
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: conference regular season title and the conference tournament title as well.

478
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: I could talk myself into either one of these teams.

479
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: But I think what's going to happen is that New

480
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: Mexico is going to speed up the tempo. So I'm

481
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: interested in the over on this one. Boise has three

482
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: scorers who pump in over thirteen per game in Rice

483
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Shaver Junior, and they get Hart, so I really like

484
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: what they bring the table. And even though Jalen House

485
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite mid major players in the

486
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: whole country, he's not a one man show. He's got

487
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: a Mashburn junior. He's got you DESI, so I think

488
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be an offensive showcase. And the

489
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: fact that Boise prefers to play slower but has the

490
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: weaponry to be able to keep up. I think the

491
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: fact that the home court advantage is going to pump

492
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: up the Lobos trying to put on a show for

493
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: their home fans. I think we're going to see a

494
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: little bit of an up tempo match, So I'm going

495
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: to see this probably in the one fifties as opposed

496
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: to where Boise would prefer to play it, which is

497
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: probably the low one forties.

498
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't forget about Alec to the UMKC Kangaroo transfer

499
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: for New Mexico. He does so many other little things

500
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: for them and just kind of put everything together. But

501
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: the house is amazing to watch. I've never seen a

502
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: guy with as much intensity on every single play as him,

503
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm glad that he has help now. And

504
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: both these teams should be shooting for the NCAA tournament.

505
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 3: I won't come out too much more of those games.

506
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk a beja later about the Mountain. Winston

507
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: will obviously talk about this game and that Boise offense

508
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 3: which has been on fire, and you're right to Mexico.

509
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: They want to get out and they want to run,

510
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: and yeah, Boise has They just have shooters all over

511
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: and so many guys that can make shots. So we'll

512
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: talk little bit more about that game later on. I'm

513
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 3: going to go with Richmond at home, where they've been

514
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 3: awesome all year, night and day, home and road team

515
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: this year at home against VCU, probably catching a point

516
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: be right around a pick. As long as it's a

517
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: pick minus one or plus one, I think it's fine.

518
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: They've actually been good against the press this year, which

519
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: is important against VCU. VC is also not the same

520
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: strong dominant team in the interior, especially on the glass,

521
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: that they had in recent years where they can just

522
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: bully Richmond. And VC is shooting like forty seven percent

523
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: from three in conference play and Richmond's about twenty nine percent.

524
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: Richmond's a better shooting team, so I think there's some

525
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: shooting regression too coming for Richmond. And they've handled the

526
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: press well, that's usually the key here, and I think

527
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 3: once they get into their offense they have some positive

528
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: shooting aggression at home. I think that they're going to

529
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 3: do enough here to get the win. So give me

530
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: Richmond in an A to ten battle, like give anything

531
00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: here to.

532
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: I just love that you picked the Capital City Classic.

533
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: It's always nice to pick those intra city matchups. I think,

534
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: from you know, a mid major perspective, you love to

535
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: see when the fan bases are really lit up for

536
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: games that beyond just the conference tournament, so this is

537
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: certainly one of them. And I think you're on the

538
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: right side on this one. Richmond does bring so much

539
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: to the table and Burden is just an absolute monster,

540
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: so I see him probably having a huge game here.

541
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Richmond, there's the Richmond doesn't force out of tournais,

542
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: which is good for VC because they cough it up

543
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: a lot. But Richmond is dominant on the defensive glass,

544
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: So I think VC is not going to keep shooting

545
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: at this clip and it's gonna be one and done,

546
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: one and done, and then you know, you can't set

547
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: up your press. And when they do have a chance

548
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: to set up their press, Richmond has showed that they

549
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: don't turn turn the ball over a lot, and they've

550
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: been good against the press per Synergy this year, which

551
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: I think ultimately will be the difference in what has

552
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: been a really disappointing A ten this year. We'll talk

553
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: about that on one of the episodes coming up, and

554
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: we feature a conference But I mean, who do you

555
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: what is bracket Matris having in the eight ten having

556
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: turned up just one, is it one bid league.

557
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: Right now, I believe, So let me check on that

558
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: for you.

559
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 4: Probably only Dayton at this point.

560
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: Right now, but I mean it's even Dayton safe. I mean, yeah,

561
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: I just assumed. Yeah, they basically have Dayton.

562
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: As the automatic bid, but they have them on the

563
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: twelve line right now. So yeah, it's uh, it's pretty

564
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: rough for them. Davidson is only you know, in a

565
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: few brackets at this point, and that's probably being generous.

566
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's uh, it's not a good situation.

567
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: It's two and five in the conference exactly, so I

568
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: think that that may be kind of Loyola. Loyola is

569
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: a corpse. They're oh and six. They look awful that

570
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: Kennedy didn't played the night.

571
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

572
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 3: Date's an interesting team because I mean early in the year,

573
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: they you know, they were they had some questionable results,

574
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: but they were they were competitive, and then they lose

575
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: their guards and they kind of reidentify, they kind of

576
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: like reconfigured their roster. They just were playing with a

577
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 3: bunch of forwards. Now their bigs are so good that

578
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: if they can get into their off to get into

579
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: the half court, they're gonna score and they're gonna rebound.

580
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: But now they're getting their guards back who weren't good

581
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 3: in the air, so that they're an interesting team to watch.

582
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 3: Because BJ, you want to add something.

583
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 4: No, I was just gonna say you mentioned Dayton now

584
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: on the twelve line. I just had an a ten

585
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 4: twelve line flashback to Iowa losing to Richmond last year.

586
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 4: It was the only thing.

587
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that so.

588
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I mean the Dayton You know, Dayton

589
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 4: lost a VCU on the road and when they were

590
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: controlling the game, had a big, big time lead and

591
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: then just collapse at the end.

592
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: Well that was because they have no guards. I mean

593
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: that's what it showed. So yeah, the the VCU press

594
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: finally got them. But yeah, we'll talk about the at

595
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: maybe you have our friend PTE buckets on at some point.

596
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: But let's shift gears to Saturday. Saturday. We'll go around

597
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: the horn here and just fire one off at a

598
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: time and we'll go until we're done. So, BJA, let

599
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: me kick it. What's the first game that you want

600
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: to bring up.

601
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to bet a team that I've bet

602
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: their last two games and they just keep losing. Georgia

603
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 4: Tech against at home, against Syracuse, against NC State, this

604
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 4: week they shot two of eighteen from behind the arc,

605
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: and then against Pittsburgh last weekend they went twelve of

606
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: twenty nine from behind the arc, so they showed they

607
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 4: are a good three point shooting team, but in that

608
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: game they went twelve for thirty seven from two point range.

609
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 4: And they're just a team that's due for a ton

610
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 4: of shooting rush. And you know, if you look at

611
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 4: the shock quality numbers, that should be about five percent higher.

612
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: On their field goal percentage at the rim and on

613
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: post upsets. They're also fourth in the ACC in both

614
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: spacing and open three point right, while Syracuse is around

615
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 4: middle of the road at defending three pointers. And the

616
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 4: biggest advantage Georgia Tech's gonna have in this one is

617
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: they do a ton of post upsets, actually the fifth

618
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: highest post of frequency team in the country, while Syracuse

619
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: they're not very good at defending those post upsets because

620
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: you know, mainly they're playing out of the two three

621
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: zone and Syracuse, like always, they're just a really, really

622
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: bad defensive rebounding team. Georgia Tex' a little bit average there.

623
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 4: And this is desperation spot here for Georgia Tech. They're

624
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 4: on a four game losing streak. It's their third straight

625
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: home game Syracuse is. They take a ton of mid

626
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: range jumpers. They don't really get to the ram or

627
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: shoot a lot of three pointers. Georgia Tech very very

628
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: good at defending mid range jumpers. So I think this

629
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 4: is a good spot here for an all in spot

630
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: for Georgia Tech, who absolutely needs this one in their

631
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: third straight home game. So give me the Yellow Jackets

632
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: plus one pick on whatever it is around there comes Saturday, Mike, I.

633
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Think this is the right time to buy on Arizona.

634
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: They score eighty eight points per game at McHale. I

635
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get Bona in foul trouble. And for

636
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: as much as I love Ucla, if he gets in

637
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: foul trouble and he's a very aggressive defender, he's somebody who's,

638
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, looking to get three and four blocks a game.

639
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: If he goes to the bench early, I think there's gonna.

640
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: Be a post Egos way down. Yeah.

641
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: So at this point I'm gonna swing for the fences

642
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: on this one. I'm gonna take them on the alternate

643
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: line out bump it all the way up to Arizona

644
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: minus nine and a half. I think they get right,

645
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: they get a big win to swing the energy back

646
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: in their favor.

647
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: For this I'm gonna go, yeah, don't hate that. I

648
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: think this is the time to probably buy Arizona after

649
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: their recent struggles. And I mean, they can't hit an

650
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: outside shot, but if you look at some of the metrics,

651
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: they've just been running really bad. They're not a great

652
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: shooting team, but some of those shots should start to fall,

653
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: especially with the attention that their interior Gardner's let's see,

654
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. Let's go with TCU. They're projected to

655
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: get nine. I don't think that they're gonna win this

656
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: game Kansas off of a loss. I love TCU as

657
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: a dog and tc is a dog. This this core

658
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: over the past two years fifteen and five against the spread,

659
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: they just have too many dudes to be catching points.

660
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: And like they here's in this particular matchup, and they've

661
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: played Kansas really tough. You can get to the rim

662
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: and score at the rim against Kansas, which is what

663
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: tc wants to do. Also, both of these teams are

664
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: they want to run, they want to get out in transition,

665
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: and they are elite in transition. Both defenses are really

666
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: good in transition. But I think both offenses are so

667
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: good that they're going to score and this game is

668
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: going to turn into up and down, which is good

669
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: for TCU, and then TCUs can get on the offensive.

670
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: Last year, that's a weakness for Kansas. The physicality of TCU,

671
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: I think can present some problems to Kansas, and I

672
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: think that TCU. Look, they had that big win kind

673
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: of over Kansas State dominated them and then they went

674
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: two Morgantown against a team that was winless in conference

675
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: before this. Kansas State tough spot there, So I think

676
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: you might maybe get a little bit more value TSO.

677
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: But I think that they'll bounce back be focused here.

678
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: They've demonstrated that they can in this dog role, especially

679
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: on the road veteran team, they won't be afraid of

680
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: the stage. Kansas pulls this out, but I don't think

681
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: they're winning this game by double digits by any stretch. BIJA.

682
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go a little mid major here. I'm

683
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: going to go to Conference USA UTEP. They're projected to

684
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 4: be eight point underdogs at home against Florida Atlantic. Everything's

685
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: going great for Florida Atlantic right now. They've cracked the

686
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: top twenty five for the first time in school history.

687
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 4: They're fifteen to one. This is a good type fade

688
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 4: spot for them. We're recording this before they play on Thursday,

689
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 4: but they're playing UTSA is one of the worst teams

690
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: not only in Conference USA but also in the country,

691
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: so they should be able to cruise by them.

692
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: Listee. UTEP.

693
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: They can't shoot the ball from distance to save their lives,

694
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: but they are a team that is built to get

695
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: the ball to the rim. They have, you know, one

696
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 4: of the lowest three point percentages in the country, but

697
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 4: also one of the lowest three point rates. They also

698
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: get to the free throw line at a top twenty rate,

699
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: but they are shooting fifty eight point six percent from

700
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 4: the free throw line. That's the second worst free throw

701
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: percentage in the country, behind only Brown. UTEP also is

702
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 4: a top thirty team in terms of spacing, top ten

703
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: team in terms of their frequency utilizing back cuts, which

704
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 4: Florida Atlantic Is has been struggling to defend. In Florida

705
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: Atlantic the reason they've been so good is they're a

706
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: really really good three point shooting team. Their top fifty

707
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: to three point rate and they're you know, shooting a

708
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: little over thirty five percent from behind the arc. UTEP

709
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: is allowing thirty percent from behind the arc. They're top forty,

710
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: which is top forty in the country. And UTIP defensively

711
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: also top thirty internal percentage along the third lowest open

712
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 4: three point range in Conference USA. And UTEP has been

713
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: fantastic as a dog this season. They just went outright

714
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: at Charlotte. They're seven to one against spread as an underdog.

715
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: So I like Minor Nation picks up plus eight at

716
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: home to knockoff potentially knock off Florida Atlantic.

717
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of these threes should start falling. I mean,

718
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: they don't have great shooters, Like I'm looking at Hardy

719
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: and McKinney, Like if you look at their track record,

720
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: like McKinney, for example, was like a thirty percent last year.

721
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: He's at thirteen percent party, you know, thirty five, thirty six,

722
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: now thirty three. You know, Givens's twenty six percent this

723
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: year is still you know, he's like a thirty four percent.

724
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 3: So they're not gonna be They're not a good three

725
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: point by wather. They're fifty two percent from the line

726
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: in conference play. But I do think that some of

727
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: their outside shots are gonna start falling because nobody is

728
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: making them. Let's say Frasier is six to twenty nine,

729
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: He's twenty percent. Last year he was thirty seven percent

730
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: for George Mason. So yeah, I think that there's some

731
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: positive shooting regression coming if you look at the track

732
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: record of some of their players. Mike, what you got next?

733
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: One of my favorite teams to go real far down

734
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: the board in terms of mid majors, the fighting Amy Schumers,

735
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: the Towson Tigers.

736
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: I love this team.

737
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: They are one of the best covering teams on the

738
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: road in the last two years in college basketball. I

739
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: think they're like thirteenth nationally, covering at about a seventy

740
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: percent rate. They got back to back road games this week.

741
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: They go to North Carolina A and T on Thursday.

742
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to take them there minus six and a half.

743
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: And then they.

744
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Play a dreadful Elon team on the road on Saturday.

745
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: And yes, the Towson offense can leave a little bit

746
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: to be desired, but they're four and one in their

747
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: last five and two of those games they held their

748
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: opponents under fifty points, one of them being Hofstra. In

749
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: terms of like a box score, that I went ahead

750
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: and circled you know for the week. Winning sixty eight

751
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: to forty seven against Hofstra just doesn't make any sense,

752
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: if it If it's not for the fact that Towsond's

753
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: defense and pace, when they put it together, they can

754
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: absolutely frustrate a team get him so far out of rhythm.

755
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: They don't give up good looks. So I could see

756
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Elon scoring sub fifty in this one as well. So

757
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and lay up to you know, twelve

758
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: thirteen in that game. I think that the Tigers are

759
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: a good value there. The one other game that I

760
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: wanted to discuss that's totally injury dependent is Santa Clara

761
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: traveling to Saint Mary's to play on Saturday. Pajemski is

762
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: the key here. He had played tonight, right, they don't

763
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: know he may play tonight against BYU. My preference is

764
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: for him to play shake off the rust them not

765
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: to cover against BYU, to get a better number on

766
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: Saturday against Santa Clara, because he's obviously that being a

767
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: big transfer from Illinois and how well he's played in

768
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. He's the huge difference

769
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: maker they've made do without him in the starting lineup,

770
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: but they need him to play at a superstar level

771
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: to upset Saint Mary's. I think they he can if

772
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: he goes ahead and gets the you know, the training

773
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: wheels off in this game against BYU. So that's the

774
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: game that I'm monitoring the most, and that would be

775
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: my upset special for Saturday night.

776
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they're they're a different team with him

777
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: out there. Thousand. The Tisan Elon game in Elon is

778
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: is bad, bad, and thosand uh they are I'm look

779
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: under scary. They're always gonna be a great offensive rebounds

780
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 3: to me. At their top twenty offensive rebounding rate, So

781
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 3: even if they're when they're when they're like playing a

782
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: team that they're clearly superior. Then if they have an

783
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 3: off shooting and then look they're not a three point

784
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: reliant shooting. But if even if their threes aren't fun,

785
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna get every offensive rebound in this game. Elon

786
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: is a horrendous rebounding team. Thousand is gonna get every

787
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: board on both ends here and just suffocate them away.

788
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't mind taking the Tigers as a

789
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 3: favorite there on the road against the team that has

790
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: that is dead that is bad and has a horrible

791
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: home court advantage. I can't imagine a great crowd for

792
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 3: that one. B JA.

793
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Seaton Hall

794
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 4: pick them at home against Marquette. Like you already mentioned, stuck.

795
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 4: Home court advantage in the Big East has been pretty

796
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: favorable and drastic this season, and this is a good

797
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 4: spot here for Seaton Hall to pick off Marquette, who

798
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 4: is coming off that win against Providence at home. The

799
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 4: big thing here is that Marquette has been pretty bad

800
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: defensively and their ninety second in adjusted defensive efficiency. They're

801
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 4: three hundred and eleventh in points per possession allowed in

802
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 4: half court sets. They can't really defend in the mid

803
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 4: range very much, which is where Seaton Hall takes a

804
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: large percentage of their shots. And the Barhecute offense has

805
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: just been running really, really hot to this point in

806
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 4: the season.

807
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 3: So I think this is a good.

808
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 4: Spot here for Seaton Hall, who has been down a

809
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 4: little bit this season, but they've been getting good shots.

810
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 4: They have a high rim and three point rate, so

811
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: it is a good spot to bet against the Marquette defense.

812
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: Progressing towards the means, so I like Seaton Hall at home.

813
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the problem with Seaton Halls, I mean, look,

814
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: Sheet Holloway is always going to have a great defense.

815
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: The guy who's out of coach I it's this roster

816
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: is built to do that. I mean what Tyree Samuel

817
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: did yesterday and the defense Don was awesome know about

818
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: in defo came from Saint Peter's as the rim protector.

819
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: Their offense is just it was like, oh, what is

820
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 3: this offense going to be? But I think lately they're

821
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 3: starting to kind of figure out their different roles and

822
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 3: who they are and kind of establishing an identity. It's

823
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: never going to be a great offense, but I think

824
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: it's an offense. It's trending up. And yeah, they're tough

825
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: at home. They've won four in a row. I have

826
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 3: this circle too, but and Marquete beats me every time

827
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: I try to fade them. But I agree Big East

828
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: teams at home are now on a roll. My favorite

829
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: bet of the day for sure is I might buy

830
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: law in Texas Tech. But I mean they run into

831
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: a hot Baylor team Kansas State off that Kansas win.

832
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: I mean, this is it for Texas Tech. They're winless

833
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 3: in the big I mean, you kind of there is

834
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,959
Speaker 3: a must win. My favorite bet by far is vau Tech.

835
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: I mean Virginia Tech. They lost again. They're kind of sliding.

836
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: This is the but I watched that whole game. I

837
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: liked what I saw from Virginia Tech. Against Virginia on

838
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: the road was not an easy game. There's a seven

839
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: points ended up losing by ten. But most importantly, they

840
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: got Hunter Couture back for that game. He was you know,

841
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: he limped off a little bit in the first half,

842
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: but he's so important to that team. Stretches opposing defenses

843
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 3: out and gives the offense some space for guys like

844
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: MutS to operate. And you know, this Clemson team is

845
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: played well, but I think that they've played a little

846
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 3: bit above their heads. They're also dealing with some injuries.

847
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: And this is just this spot of all spots for

848
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 3: Virginia Tech, who's lost six in a row. Experienced team,

849
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: great coach, they've been here before. This is basically the

850
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 3: same exact spot that they were in last year when

851
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: they caught fire and then carried that all the way

852
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: through through the Agency Tournament, which they won into March.

853
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: So I think this is the right time to buy

854
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: VA Tech. I think they're winning this game. You'll be

855
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: private catching a couple of points, they'll take, they'll take

856
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: money and probably close like a pick or something. But

857
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: I love VA Tech on Saturday and he comes on

858
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: those games you have, you guys have an else to have. Yeah,

859
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 3: I'll just put this out here quickly.

860
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: One home court advantage in mid Majorland that I really

861
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: respect is the Dome of Doom out in Laramie. But

862
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: this Wyoming team has fallen off the cliff. It's white

863
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: flag time. No graamy, kay, no Maldonado and Colorado of

864
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: State coming in on Saturday. Isaiah Stevens has really picked

865
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: up every ounce of slack that he can with what

866
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: they lost year over year in terms of offensive production.

867
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: They nearly upset San Diego State, they lose in overtime

868
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: the other night. I like what I'm seeing from them.

869
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: Depends on the number, but I could see them win

870
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: in by twenty plus in this game, and just Wyoming

871
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: does not have the personnel to keep up, and Colorado

872
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: State still has an opportunity if they make it a

873
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: little run to find themselves in the third fourth slot

874
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: of the Mountain West packing order. If they can really

875
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: start stacking up some wins. I think it starts in Laramie.

876
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: For a team that's usually incredibly difficult out, maybe we'll

877
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: get lucky and have a few points worth of value

878
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: baked in because sportsbooks are still respecting the altitude. But

879
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't really see that being a problem for the

880
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: Rams here.

881
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: I also beat up. I also throw at Ohio State

882
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 3: after their losses, and I was one four in a

883
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 3: row Ohio State at home here. I think it's going

884
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: to end up being a pretty good spot, but maybe

885
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna tell me to beout Ioway here. No, no, no, no,

886
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: I actually don't like Iowa on the road there.

887
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 4: No, I was going to piggyback off Mike and say

888
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 4: that I think is the I agree with him as

889
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 4: the perfect spot here for Arizona.

890
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: You know, this is something we talked about last year.

891
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 4: But the way the PAC twelve schedule works, a lot

892
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 4: of times these teams get back to back road games

893
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 4: on a Thursday and Saturday, and that's where you're finding here.

894
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 4: With UCLA, they're on a thirteen game win streak before

895
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 4: this game against Arizona State on Thursday. The best team

896
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: that they've played throughout that entire stretch has been Kentucky

897
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 4: on a neutral floor, which we all know of their

898
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: issues throughout this season. So I agree with you, Mike.

899
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 4: This is a perfect spot to actually buy back in

900
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: on Arizona because they're probably gonna be an underdog.

901
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: Here at home, which I think is ridiculous. I mean

902
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: I would, I would take it, you know, just on

903
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: the regular lineup to Arizona minus three. But like I said,

904
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: if it's a situation where if it's even a pick

905
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: them teasing the line up to Arizona MIAs nign and

906
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: a half, you could get three to one on a

907
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: bet like that. So I think there's plenty of value

908
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: too in Arizona.

909
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Runaway, you know you said, is also a top ten

910
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 4: frequency team and running pick and rolls. That's why they've

911
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 4: been so successful offensively in Arizona's top fifteen points per

912
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 4: possession allowed off of pick and roll. So it's a

913
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 4: really really good spot here for Arizona.

914
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything that they want to do starts at that

915
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: tiger pick and roll. All right, good stuff, boys, got

916
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: some you know, a future added talk, some futures talk,

917
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,560

949
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 3: let's bring in an old friend of mine in the

Speaker 3: podcast dj Rains. You can find them on Twitter at

952
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 3: for Boise State and broconationews dot Com. All right, so

953
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 3: Boise State is let's talk. Let's talk a little Mountain

954
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 3: West college basketball. Boise State is on quite a role

955
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: right now in the Mountain West. Is well positioned to

956
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 3: get three, maybe four teams into the dance. But I

957
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: think as of right now, Boise State, San Diego State,

958
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: New Mexico would probably be safely. In Nevada is up

959
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 3: and coming, and Utah State can shoot the I mean,

960
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 3: that's a team that can shoot, and they're they're kind

961
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: of I would assume they're going to be just a

962
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: team that's squarely on the bubble with a chance to

963
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: get in all season long. And then you have a team,

964
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: you know, you have teams that could be scary in

965
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 3: let's but before we get to the top of the conference.

966
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 3: He's it could be scary later in the season, maybe

967
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 3: to play spoiler or steal a bid in the Mountain

968
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 3: West Conference tournament UNLV. You know location, Colorado State, Isaiah Stevens.

969
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: We've seen the firepower that he can have. And then Wyoming.

970
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 3: Wyoming is a corpse right now. They have We'll see

971
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 3: if e k comes back. They've had so many injuries

972
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 3: that the there have no chance at at large bid

973
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 3: and it'll probably get uglier before it gets prettier. But

974
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 3: if they get healthy and then it's like an all

975
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: in effort with a great coach in the conference tournament,

976
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: that's a team that you don't want to face, that

977
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 3: could make some noise in the conference tournament. And what

978
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on just the before we get to

979
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 3: those kind of five potential most likely tournament teams.

980
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's crazy too when you look at

981
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 5: the standings and you don't even mention Air Force or

982
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: San Jose State and they're both sitting at five hundred

983
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 5: in the league. I mean, it's it's really been an

984
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 5: unbelievable Mountain West season. Every game is crazy, you know,

985
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 5: watching that Colorado State San Diego State gaming night that

986
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 5: went to overtime. Colorado State, you know easily could have

987
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 5: won that game, and they're in ninth place in the

988
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 5: league and San Diego State's tied for first, So I mean,

989
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 5: it is crazy. I agree with you on Wyoming. They

990
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 5: just appear to have too much talent to be this bad.

991
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 5: Ek must just truly be that amazing of a player,

992
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 5: and if they can get him back they would be

993
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 5: a very scary team going down the stretch into the

994
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 5: Mountain West Tournament if he were to come back. You

995
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 5: mentioned UNLV. They got some pieces obviously, going and winning

996
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 5: at the pit and having the tournament and their home

997
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 5: building on their home floor, and they're always scary. And

998
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 5: I agree on Colorado State as well. I mean that

999
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 5: they are a team, like we said, that looks like

1000
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 5: they could play with anybody on.

1001
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: Any given night.

1002
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, the bottom is certainly better than it's ever been.

1003
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 5: And you look at all the computer numbers and all that.

1004
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's crazy to look at where these

1005
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 5: teams are ranked. I mean even UNLV, who's in tenth place,

1006
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 5: is ranked eighty first at Ken Palm. I mean, it's

1007
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 5: pretty crazy where these teams are at. And this is

1008
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 5: my tenth season covering the Mountain West, and I would

1009
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 5: say it's by far, from top to bottom, the best

1010
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 5: it's ever been.

1011
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree. We'd even mention president of State,

1012
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 3: who will go like thirteen minutes without scoring. But playing

1013
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 3: them is like going to the dentist. And it's just

1014
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 3: their defense is really good. Un L. These defense is incredible. Yeah,

1015
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: what I think one of the most underrated aspects of

1016
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 3: this conference is the coaches. Just from top. There are

1017
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 3: so many outstanding coaches in this conference. I'm not sure

1018
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 3: how long they're gonna stay around without getting you know,

1019
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 3: maybe Power five jobs. But man, I mean, like got

1020
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: I just mentioned Tim Miles is done with San Jose State.

1021
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: They have, but yeah, they have won twelve games and

1022
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 3: we're at ten games in like six years. They're already

1023
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 3: at twelve, already one.

1024
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 5: In seventeen last year I think it was or one

1025
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 5: in fifteen in conference play. They won one conference game

1026
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 5: last year and they're already three and three. It's pretty incredible.

1027
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: And you mentioned uh Patino at New Mexico and what

1028
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 5: he's done coming in Nico. Medved is a good coach

1029
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 5: at Colorado State. I like Jeff Linder at Wyoming. You

1030
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 5: know Krueger at UNLV, Leon Rice, you know Brian Dutcher.

1031
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: You got to Ryan Odum, I think Steve Steve.

1032
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 5: Alford at Nevada. I mean, yeah, it is pretty crazy

1033
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 5: the coaches in this league for sure.

1034
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 3: Yep. Well we haven't mentioned uh, Leon Rice and Boise

1035
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: Stay yet. They have won five straight. This is a team.

1036
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm curious to get your thoughts on just kind of

1037
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 3: their some of their overall strengths and weaknesses of when

1038
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: I look at them, it's like there's just shot makers

1039
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 3: all over. Maybe they're a little vulnerable in the post,

1040
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: which is if I had, you know, once they get

1041
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: out of conference, if they went up against like a

1042
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 3: dominant big in the first round of tournament, that could

1043
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 3: be a problem. But it's just a it seems like

1044
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 3: everyone is playing so connected on both ends of the floor,

1045
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: and I know that they're they're they're just making shots.

1046
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: I think they're shooting forty three percent from three in conference.

1047
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Shaver, it's not like Shaver's shooting

1048
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: the lights out. Daganhart hasn't been shooting the lights out.

1049
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 3: I mean everyone else is making their threes. Ogbo has

1050
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 3: been a revelation from that standpoint. But how would you

1051
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 3: just quickly profile this team from overall strengths and weaknesses

1052
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 3: and I think they're a real threat to get to

1053
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 3: the second would you agree?

1054
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they won the Mountain West regular season

1055
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 5: last year, won the Mountain West tournament last year, and

1056
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 5: he set a school record for wins and then lost

1057
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 5: three starters and a lot of people kind of wrote

1058
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 5: him off this year. I mean, they were picked third

1059
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 5: in the preseason, I think just out of respect, But

1060
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of people thought they had

1061
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 5: much of a chance to repeat. On paper, they didn't

1062
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 5: appear to be as good as last year's team. But

1063
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 5: you know, you see Max Rice, he had twenty nine

1064
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 5: points the other night. He's upped his production from from

1065
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 5: the outside a ton. You mentioned abo Texas Tech transfer.

1066
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,439
Speaker 5: He didn't really know what you were getting. He got

1067
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 5: off to a slow start, but he's a former four

1068
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 5: star guy and now he's one of their best players.

1069
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 5: And guys like Nase Smith coming off the you know,

1070
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 5: started this season coming off the bench. He's gotten a

1071
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 5: lot better as well. And so they don't have a

1072
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 5: lot of depth, Like they're starting five. As they're starting

1073
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 5: five is probably as good as any starting five in

1074
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 5: the league, but they have a pretty severe drop off.

1075
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 5: Like when they lost in Nevada by two points there

1076
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 5: back on December twenty eighth, Degan Hard and Nase Smith

1077
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 5: both filed out with like four minutes left, and so

1078
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 5: they you know, they didn't they probably win that game

1079
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 5: if they they have their starters in there, So that

1080
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 5: could be an issue moving forward. A lot of their

1081
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 5: starters are playing, you know, thirty five minutes a game.

1082
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 5: They just don't have a very deep bench. They're trying

1083
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 5: to do that. But yeah, I mean I think they're

1084
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 5: starting five, could go up with anybody. And Shaver, I

1085
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 5: think is an elite player that's not scoring as much

1086
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 5: right now, but I think he has fourteen assists in

1087
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 5: his last two games. Interesting matchup, you know, against New

1088
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 5: Mexico because him and Jalen Houise went to the same

1089
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 5: high school, played together for Mike Bibby. Mike Bibby was

1090
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 5: their high school coach, I believe, so they have a connection.

1091
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 5: That'll be interesting on Friday. But no, I think leon

1092
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 5: Rice just consistently gets more with less. I mean, they

1093
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 5: don't get up, they don't wow you when you get

1094
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 5: off the bus. They're not necessarily the most skilled team

1095
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 5: in the league, but they play together, like you said,

1096
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 5: ball movement, and then they have the number ten ranked

1097
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 5: defense right now at ken pum So. I mean, they

1098
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 5: play very good defense and they limit you to one shot.

1099
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 5: I think their top ten and defensive rebounding as well,

1100
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 5: So they hold you to one shot and a lot

1101
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 5: of times it's a miss, and and then you know,

1102
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 5: lately they've been scoring a lot too. I think they

1103
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 5: are at least seventy seven points in the last four games,

1104
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 5: and it's been pretty impressive. They run they're on right now.

1105
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 5: And you know, I think they were pretty disappointed with

1106
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 5: the matchup with Memphis last year. They thought they kind

1107
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 5: of got screwed a little bit having to play Memphis

1108
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 5: in the first round of the tournament. They thought they

1109
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 5: should have got a little better draw for what they

1110
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 5: had done twenty seven wins tournament championship. So that's the

1111
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 5: last thing Boise State basketball has never done. They've never

1112
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 5: won an NCAA tournament game, And so that I think

1113
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 5: is on the minds of some of these guys this

1114
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 5: year that to continue this legacy and kind of write

1115
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 5: their history here last year is great. But they not

1116
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 5: only want to get back, they want to win a

1117
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 5: game in the tournament as well.

1118
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, every year I talk about this, You say, don't

1119
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: get ahead of yourself with the second weekend, Let's win

1120
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: a game first, And I agreed. Memphis. I remember betting

1121
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 3: them against Gonzaga like they were arguably a top ten

1122
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 3: team just talent wise in the country and that's absolutely

1123
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 3: brutal draw. So would you agree weakness? I mean, look,

1124
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 3: the third defense, they the tallest they go unless Milner's

1125
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: in there, is like six seven. Yeah, that allows them

1126
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,959
Speaker 3: to switch and then they're really good team just team

1127
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 3: rebounding and they're very connected. But would you say that's

1128
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 3: kind of their potential primary weakness if they were to

1129
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 3: go up against like a really strong post offense.

1130
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, in Nevada had Will Baker

1131
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 5: and he obviously is not a traditional back down big,

1132
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 5: but I mean they did okay against him, But yeah,

1133
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 5: that that probably a team that has a lot of

1134
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 5: size on the interior, like when they play San Diego

1135
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 5: State when they go against like a Nathan Mensa or

1136
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 5: what would have happened against e K I think that

1137
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 5: certainly could be an issue for them. But I'll say

1138
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 5: this about Nase Smith. I mean, he had six he's

1139
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 5: six seven, six eight, He had six blocks in a

1140
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 5: game the other day, Like he plays bigger than his size,

1141
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 5: and so and Degenhard as well, is you know a

1142
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 5: guy that can get down there and bang a little bit.

1143
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 5: But Nase Smith, like he's the most unique guy. If

1144
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 5: you watch him shoot the ball, the ball like spins

1145
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 5: sideways almost the shot looks ugly and horrible. And he

1146
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 5: makes four threes against Wyoming, and he just has these

1147
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 5: up and unders and these crazy moves and he just

1148
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 5: you look at him and I mean, but I mean,

1149
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 5: he probably should be a four. But he's playing a

1150
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 5: great job for what they need. When this winning streak started,

1151
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 5: or I guess the when they turned it around after

1152
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 5: the one and two start they lost to Charlotte and

1153
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 5: scored eleven points in the first half and the Myrtle

1154
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 5: Beach opener, that was the switch they made. They took

1155
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 5: Milner out of the starting lineup, putt Nase Smith in

1156
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 5: and the energy he brings, the dunks, some of the defense.

1157
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 5: He's just a very interesting guy. And so I think that,

1158
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 5: uh yeah, like I said, they don't you know, they

1159
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 5: don't wow you when you get off the bus. But

1160
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 5: what they do have is a lot of guys Degenhart,

1161
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 5: Abbo Smith that are all six seven, six'.

1162
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: Eight rice is six.' five so a lot of those guys.

1163
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 5: Are interchangeable they can do a lot of switching on defense,

1164
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 5: and things, and yeah against a true dominant, big man

1165
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 5: that could be a problem. For them but to this

1166
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 5: point that they've been able to find ways to win

1167
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 5: despite that being. A, problem yeah and on the.

1168
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 3: FLIP side i mean everyone on, the floor for the

1169
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 3: most part, of them they start. TO shoot i mean,

1170
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: RIGHT now I mean shaver's only shooting twenty seve percent

1171
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 3: of the guy that was what thirty five percent. Last

1172
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 3: year thirty starts Down at deganhart's, down Too but digonhart.

1173
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 3: Can shoot so when you are playing a traditional big

1174
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: there's that mispatch on the other, side too when you

1175
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: have five guys who can. All shoot, and yeah THAT'S.

1176
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 5: Why I Said nase smith there quote unquote center was

1177
00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 5: four to eight from three point Range.

1178
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: Against, wyoming yeah And what'sb.

1179
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 3: Abbo's shooting he's thirty nine of eighty six from three on,

1180
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 3: the season Forty Five.

1181
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 5: PERCAIN better i think conference plays over fifty percent. As

1182
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 5: well he's. Been unbelievable, so yeah He's The texas. TECH

1183
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 5: transfer i think he's been a great Replacement For Key jab, and,

1184
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 5: uh yeah he's. Been huge but, you're right all five starters.

1185
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 5: Can Shoot And, max RICE like, i said was six

1186
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 5: of seven from three the other. Day himself so they're,

1187
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 5: not late they're not afraid to let it. Fly too

1188
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 5: they had like thirty plus Attempts against wyoming, From, three,

1189
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 5: so yeah, you're right they can, definitely shoot that's.

1190
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 3: For, sure well here's an interesting question before we get

1191
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 3: to just a couple of. Other teams If If boise

1192
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 3: state this year play, you know there's gonna be some

1193
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: guys you have to clone to. Do, this Yeah If

1194
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 3: poise state's Team Played boise, state's team you know this

1195
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 3: year versus? Last year? Is, it hey there's more talent

1196
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 3: on last, year's team but this team plays better together

1197
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 3: and would end up winning. That game how do you

1198
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 3: see that? Playing out if.

1199
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 5: If right now at this point in, THE season i

1200
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 5: would make probably last year's team like. MINUS four i

1201
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 5: would probably say that they're slightly they were. SLIGHTLY better, I,

1202
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 5: mean emanuel.

1203
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 3: This year's team catching the, Points, probably.

1204
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah you might. Have to they've been. Pretty, good yeah

1205
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: you you. Probably would.

1206
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 5: THAT'S interesting i mean they do miss the two things

1207
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 5: last year's team had Was. Maladn ormush they had a,

1208
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 5: you know a, prototypical center six, to eleven big guy in.

1209
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 5: The middle he was a, great, defender rebounder and, you

1210
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 5: know usually gave you like ten and eight, a game

1211
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 5: and they they definitely, missed that and he HAD the covid.

1212
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 5: Year back if he would have come back, this year

1213
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 5: which he, could have that's like literally the missing piece

1214
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 5: where this team might be undefeated right now. OR something,

1215
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 5: i mean he's that's the one deficiency as he, talked

1216
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 5: about and he could have. Come back And THEN Emanuel

1217
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 5: a cott, you know six to eight point guard last

1218
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 5: year and That allowed shaver to play off the ball

1219
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 5: more at. The two that's one that they kind of

1220
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 5: wish that they could probably have back, as well BECAUSE like,

1221
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 5: I said i Think key Jab and abo are pretty,

1222
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 5: pretty much.

1223
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: You know a, straight wash and, SO yeah i think

1224
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 2: it'd be.

1225
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 5: Very similar but this year's team has something about him

1226
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 5: man like to go in the span of three days to,

1227
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 5: YOU know Unlv and wyoming and win both those games

1228
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 5: by almost twenty points each on.

1229
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 2: The road to do what they Did To.

1230
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 5: Utah, STATE yeah i think, this TEAM like, i said

1231
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 5: they don't they don't, wow you but they, play together

1232
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 5: and they play really, really hard and they're they're putting

1233
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 5: together an impressive. RESUME here, i mean even go back

1234
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 5: to non Conference, Beating COLORADO texas A And M, Saint Louis.

1235
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 5: WASHINGTON state, i mean they did some work in, the

1236
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 5: preseason maybe not against like the elite of the, elite

1237
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 5: teams but they got a lot of quality wins and

1238
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 5: it's prepared them for this AND so i would make

1239
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 5: last year's team, the favorite but you're probably right that

1240
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 5: at this point it might be it'd be tough to

1241
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 5: bet against this.

1242
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 3: Year's, team yeah they boys just didn't have to have

1243
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 3: a feel to me this year of a team that

1244
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 3: gets in and then makes some noise with all just

1245
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 3: it's it's team you don't want to play when you

1246
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 3: when there's five shooters all over the court like that

1247
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 3: that are that are just playing so. Well CONNECTED so

1248
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 3: i have A feeling boise fans that you're gonna get

1249
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 3: that first tournament win. This year but speaking of the

1250
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 3: rest of the top of, The Conference San diego state.

1251
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 3: Very talented my problem with them, they have, you know

1252
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: at times they can have some tournament issues a little

1253
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 3: too maybe Reliant On matt bradley, at times like he's

1254
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 3: gonna get up a lot of shots. And heat when,

1255
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 3: he's on you're not. Stopping him but when he's off and,

1256
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 3: he's chucking it's like their offense can't. Afford that so

1257
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 3: and then You Have, new mexico which We Mentioned jalen

00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 5: Play San. Diego state but, TO me I Mean San

1270
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 5: diego state just looks Like. The clear they look like

1271
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 5: the best team in. The league, TO me I mean

1272
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 5: i watched that Game Against. COLORADO state i know, they

1273
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 5: struggle but you just look at the guys, they had

1274
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 5: whether it Be A lamont butler and, his improvement and

1275
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 5: then you have, you know Guys like Parish and trammel

1276
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 5: and some of the guys at they're and then they have,

1277
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 5: You know mensa in, the MIDDLE and i even like

1278
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 5: You know sako And a rope and some of those

1279
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 5: guys that come off the bench as. ROLE players, i

1280
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 5: mean almost any team in the league would Take An

1281
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 5: adam saiko Or a rope to provide some minutes off.

1282
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 5: The BENCH so i mean they have a, very deep,

1283
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 5: veteran TEAM and i still, think that, you know you

1284
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 5: look at the teams they've, lost to, they're all, you

1285
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 5: know damn, Good Teams saint Mary's in Arizona, and arkansas

1286
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 5: and Then The new mexico won surprised me a little

1287
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 5: bit the. Other DAY but i Still Think San, diego

1288
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 5: state to me is that the best team In The,

1289
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 5: mountain WEST and I think Boise In new mexico are

1290
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 5: right there. With Them and i'm intrigued To See. New

1291
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 5: mexico but like, you said, last year they didn't have,

1292
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 5: Any inside they had, no postgame nobody on the inside,

1293
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 5: last year and that's what. Killed them they've added some

1294
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 5: size on the INTERIOR and i think that they're certainly

1295
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 5: a team that has a chance to do. Some things

1296
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 5: AND like, i said when you have those, two guards

1297
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 5: they're averaging what close to FORTY points i, think together,

1298
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 5: YOU know i mean it's pretty crazy With what Mashburn

1299
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 5: and house, are doing.

1300
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 2: And to Add in oudezi and then you know they Still.

1301
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 5: HAVE foresling i know as seven footer doesn't do a,

1302
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 5: whole LOT but i think that they're very talented and

1303
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 5: they're not going to lose a lot of home games

1304
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 5: with that. Crowd Advantage so i'm very impressed With What richard.

1305
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 5: Patino's done mann and two is, super IMPRESSIVE and i

1306
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 5: think both those teams are, for me probably the next

1307
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 5: two teams. RIGHT there i still, You Know utah State

1308
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 5: AND nevada i think are probably in that next tier

1309
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 5: RIGHT below. I THINK but i think Those Two new

1310
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 5: Mexico And San diego state are both going to be

1311
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 5: tournament teams.

1312
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: For, me, Yeah, Agreed, YEAH UTAs i Mean The utah

1313
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 3: state runs great stuff. ON all, i mean i'd like,

1314
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 3: we said there's so many. Good, COACHES yeah i saw them. In, PERSON.

1315
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,960

1317
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 5: know if you to states quite, you know if they're

1318
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 5: not hitting, their threes they're in trouble and so many

1319
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 5: they just don't have.

1320
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: The dudes like the guys that Can get but, if

1321
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: yeah they're they're so three. Point reliant but if they

1322
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 3: are making, their threes.

1323
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 5: There's tough but who was they Had justin bean last

1324
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 5: year and then, before that you know The sam merrill's of,

1325
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 5: the world and They had nimishkada.

1326
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 2: AT times, i mean they have a lot of.

1327
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 5: Good players BUT when i saw them, in person and

1328
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 5: maybe it was just a rough day, for Them And

1329
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 5: boise state caught them on a on a. Good DAY but,

1330
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 5: I mean I just I didn't i didn't see them

1331
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 5: being this like top thirty nationally team at the computer

1332
00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 5: rankings said they're a.

1333
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 2: Good team i'm just not sure if they're a.

1334
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 3: Great, TEAM yeah i mean the Problem With utah STATE

1335
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 3: against i mean they lost by got thirty or Something.

1336
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 3: To Boisman utah, state has you know a lot of

1337
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: times out there they'll Have like aiken who, can rebound

1338
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 3: and then they'll have. Four shooters they run such good

1339
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 3: stuff to, create, mismatches yeah to get. Open threes but

1340
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 3: that's the Beauty the boise Defense is boise can, switch

1341
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 3: everything which is just a nightmare for them because then

1342
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 3: they have the athletic advantage at every position and there's

1343
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 3: no real mismatches that they can create with. Their actions,

1344
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 3: So yeah boise's about like the worst possible Matchup For.

1345
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 3: Utah state keep out, of mind uh, Going forward, but

1346
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 3: yeah just wanted to Get Some mountain. West Insight will

1347
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: boise Run With new mexico to marny Thing like mexico

1348
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 3: be at home in. The pit they would like to

1349
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 3: play a little like not as nowhere close as Fast.

1350
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 3: As mexico but do you think on the road Now

1351
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: In new mexican to try to run and they, have

1352
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 3: athletes how do you think the pace is gonna? Play?

1353
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 5: OUT yeah i Think, THEY'LL yeah I think i could see.

1354
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 5: IT happening, I mean i don't know what the. LINE

1355
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 5: is i No ken pom has it at One For.

1356
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 5: NEW mexico i would Probably Take new mexico in. THIS

1357
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 5: game I Think boise states do at some point for for,

1358
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 5: a loss and in this tough atmosphere on, THE road

1359
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 5: i would Probably Take new mexico in. This game but

1360
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 5: in terms of, THE style, i, mean yeah they're. Very

1361
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 5: similar in terms of great. GUARD play i think that,

1362
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 5: You Know boise state has done a pretty good job

1363
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 5: of limiting opposing teams kind of, star guards going Back

1364
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 5: To uri Collins With saint louis and some of. These

1365
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 5: TEAMS so, i, MEAN yeah i think that they've done

1366
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 5: a pretty. GOOD job i do see this probably being

1367
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 5: a little more of an up and, down GAME and

1368
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 5: i think that's Okay WITH boise i think they're fine.

1369
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 5: With that, But Again boise state won a game last

1370
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 5: year forty two to, thirty SEVEN so, i mean if they,

1371
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 5: have to if they have to play the lower scoring type,

1372
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 5: of game they can do that. As WELL but i,

1373
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 5: YOU know i think both teams are probably probably in.

1374
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: The, seventies yeah Throughout The San Diego state boisse forty two,

1375
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:43,600
